My weekend, redux
More photographs I took this weekend (this was originally intended to post at 7 a.m., but I can't hold it in any longer, and it is now Monday where I am...):
I spent most of the weekend hanging out on the set of Antibody, a short film my friend Nate is making to enter in a local film contest George Romero will be judging in September. Per the rules and title of the contest ("The American Zombie Horror Film Contest"), Antibody is a movie involving zombies. One of whom, the one in the third photograph from the top in the above array, managed to stave off his lust for human flesh long enough to cowrite the script (he was also the subject of the "meth mouth" photo: that was a close-up taken during a makeup test Friday night; think of it as "death mouth" if you'd like...).
Nate gave me permission to document the shoot. When I wasn't painting, acting as a production assistant, or serving as an impromptu grip, I had the privilege of being the film's documentarian. I snapped several hundred pics, some of which are actually in focus.
I feel a compulsion to mention that the last photograph in the series was serendipity, not setup: the clapper happened to be left lying on top of a copy of the script and the shotlist as I was passing by between takes, and all I had to do was point my camera down, frame it, focus it, and click. You just gotta love it when that happens.
More images may follow over the next few weeks as I go through the files....
(Meth mouth... heh... the makeup guys done good.... :-) )

I still like the idea that they were pix documenting police brutality, though. Except police are allowed to brutalize zombies all they want.
It's a law!
Plus, any work-related pics just aren't nearly as fun as, say for instance, photos of a deteriorating medical lab with a zombie chained to a wall for crude experiments.... :-D
But nothing I came up with made sense in publication on the Net.
Hence my worries for your sanity. :D
Hence my obnoxious comment.
That said, LARPing? Ewwww-- Real gamers play pnp.
;-)
And it's been so long since I've done any roll-playing, I'm lucky I was able to dredge LARP out of my memory!
but then that's redundant.
